Bab 13: Chapter 13: Let Me Absorb This
...
Looking at the messy and almost dying Zeng Yi lying on the ground, the girl felt both angry and amused.
She stood up from her crouching position, crossed her arms, and shook her head in helplessness.
"Were you confident ? Or you just fearless? A small soul master like you dares to come alone to the Sunset Forest, really courting death!"
The girl had never expected that this idiot of hers would be so daring, coming straight to the Sunset Forest to find soul rings. It's not like there are soul beasts only in Sunset and Star Dou Great Forest, there are others too! It's not that dangerous. And even if you do want to come, you should find some people to team up with! Do you think Miss is by your side?
Oh, right, I almost forgot. Haha, my bad. He is an orphan, didn't think of this.
"But..." the girl's tone suddenly changed.
"It's worthy for me to choose you. Your strength is so weak and yet you dare to come to the dangerous Sunset Forest alone! I didn't misjudge you. Your nature is actually the same as mine, a happy orphan! Hahaha~"
After saying that, the girl laughed happily without any sense of elegance.
"Alright, enough with the banter. I have to quickly heal this idiot, otherwise it will be troublesome if he dies." The girl's laughter stopped abruptly, and she said with a serious expression.
The girl raised her palm, and a green light appeared in her palm, gradually forming into a fist-sized ball of light, shining with warm and peaceful radiance, containing strong life force. Under the illumination of this light, the withered grass and flowers in the surroundings started to regain vitality, growing visibly at a rapid speed.
"Go!"
The girl lightly opened her cherry lips, and the light ball slowly left her palm, flying towards Zeng Yi, stopping in front of his chest, and then blending into his body.
Powerful life energy poured into Zeng Yi's body, repairing his broken body.
Then, the girl looked at the Blue Darkness Wolf and pointed her finger, sending a beam of light into its body.
"Hmm~"
After doing all this, the girl stretched lazily and clapped her hands.
"Alright! The task is done. It's time for me to go back and continue enjoying my food."
After speaking, the girl glanced at Zeng Yi who was lying on the ground.
"Good luck, happy young man! Well then~, goodbye~"
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl disappeared from the spot.
...
At night, moonlight spilled over the chaotic ground. Zeng Yi's bloodied face twitched slightly under the moonlight.
Is it already night?
I'm not dead!
Thinking of this, Zeng Yi raised his body and sat on the ground. He realized that he didn't feel any pain in his body, although there were still many scabs on his body, and he looked disheveled. But all his injuries had healed completely. He now felt extremely vigorous and much stronger than before, a whole new level of strength.
What's going on? Could it be that I have some special constitution, which can fully recover and gain strength while on the brink of death?
Thinking like this, Zeng Yi actually found it possible.
Open my status panel, Zeng Yi silently recited.
[Name: Zeng Yi]
[Soul: Ronin Sword]
[Strength: Soul Master Level 10]
[Soul Rings: None]
[Technique: Windblade Sword Art (Perfected First Stage)]
[Skills:
1. Ronin (Passive): Strength, agility, and attack power increase by 50%, cultivation speed increases by 50% when alone.
2. Sword Mastery (Passive): Proficient in the use of all kinds of blades and swords, enhances comprehension of blade and sword skills.]
No changes!
Seeing that his status panel hadn't changed, Zeng Yi felt a bit disappointed. He thought he had some powerful physique.
How did I recover then? Could it be the system saving me? Is it back?
Thinking of this, Zeng Yi became happy, believing that with the help of the system, this journey should not be dangerous anymore.
System! System!
Is the system there?
Zeng Yi kept calling, but there was no response.
Indeed, this dumb system can't be relied upon. I have to rely on myself!
Zeng Yi stood up from the ground and dusted himself off. He looked around the surroundings and saw the Blue Darkness Wolf lying on the side with a halo-like circle floating above its body. That was its soul ring, indicating that the wolf was dead.
"It seems that in the end, I won!" Zeng Yi sighed, looking at the wolf's corpse with a somewhat sympathetic gaze. He felt a sense of sympathy for this wolf, but unfortunately, one of them had to die in the end, and it was Zeng Yi who stood till the end, not the wolf.
"This soul ring suits me well. It's wind attribute and has slashing skills. The soul beast is a wolf and my martial soul is called Ronin Sword, so they match quite well!" Zeng Yi thought like this.
"It's a pity that the lifespan of the soul ring is too high for me now. If it were my second soul ring, that would be great." Zeng Yi shook his head with regret.
I feel a bit uncomfortable now!
Looking at his torn clothes and bloody scabs all over his body, Zeng Yi felt uncomfortable.
Let's take a bath first!
Thinking of that, Zeng Yi tore off his tattered clothes and washed his body with a bucket of water taken out from his spatial bracelet. After cleaning himself, he put on a set of new clothes, tied up his long hair, instantly transforming into a handsome and spirited young man.
"Oh, right, I still left something." Zeng Yi remembered something and put the sword given by the system on his waist. It turned out that this sword was quite useful, with good quality.
Then, Zeng Yi started searching for something nearby. After a few minutes, he opened a piece of wood and found his belongings.
He stored the weight ring and belt into his spatial bracelet. He decided not to carry these things in the Sunset Forest, otherwise, he wouldn't even have time to take them off if he encountered danger. If it weren't for the Blue Darkness Wolf playing with him and giving him time, he would have died earlier.
Suppressing one's strength in this place is really foolish. If you can't fully utilize your own abilities and get killed, it's just too unfair.
After arranging everything, he wanted to leave and find a hidden place to spend the night.
But as soon as he took a few steps, his martial soul, Ronin Sword, automatically appeared in front of Zeng Yi, trembling slightly. It made a buzzing sound.
Seeing this situation, Zeng Yi was a little confused and stopped.
What's going on?
"Little baby, what's wrong with you? Are you running a fever? Let me check." Zeng Yi held the sword hilt with his right hand but didn't feel any heat?
"Alright, quickly return to my body. We need to find a place to spend the night now." Zeng Yi said, and with a thought, he retracted his martial soul.
But Ronin Sword didn't disappear and still trembled in Zeng Yi's hand.
What's... The martial soul can also have this kind of situation?
Zeng Yi was a little confused, looking at Ronin Sword trembling, he felt that things were not so simple. Could it have something to say to him?
Thinking like this, Zeng Yi closed his eyes and communicated with Ronin Sword through his spiritual power.
After a while, Zeng Yi opened his eyes with a somewhat stiff expression.
"You're saying that you want me to absorb that soul ring?" Zeng Yi's mouth twitched as he spoke.
The sword in his hand buzzed twice as if confirming his words.
"Hehe... Bro, you're not joking, are you? Didn't you see the color of that soul ring? It's already fully purple!" Zeng Yi exclaimed. Although the Blue Darkness Wolf was only a soul beast of over nine hundred years, the soul ring floating above its corpse was emitting a purple aura.
For soul beasts, the color of the soul ring is white for ten years, yellow for a hundred years, purple for a thousand years, black for ten thousand years, red for a hundred thousand years, and above that, there's something gold, Zeng Yi couldn't remember clearly.
For soul masters, the first soul ring can absorb a maximum of a hundred years, roughly between four to five hundred years. This is the limit. Tang San, the protagonist of Douluo Dalu, knows this. He was so powerful, but the lifespan of his first soul ring was around four hundred years if Zeng Yi remembered correctly.
As for Zeng Yi, he believed that he could absorb soul rings of six to seven hundred years. After all, when Tang San was six years old, Zeng Yi was already eight years old, and his physical and spiritual qualities were stronger than Tang San's at that time. Zeng Yi was confident about this.
But asking him to absorb a soul ring of a thousand years, wasn't that asking for his life? He's not a character in Douluo Dalu or a protagonist who's overpowering in those fanfics; the first soul ring is a thousand, ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand years. If the system ran away, it's trying to make him explode?
If the system is trying to scam me, that's fine, but Ronin Sword, as my martial soul, should have my best interest in mind. Yet it also wants to harm me!
This really makes me sad!
